He is enjoying an interdisciplinary scientific career that integrates his experience in geology, oceanography, geomatics, and education. His PhD dissertation (U. Victoria, 2018) on seabed sediment dynamics and geomorphology in tidal straits, is relevant to the routing of seafloor cables & pipelines, the situation of tidal turbines for renewable energy extraction, and understanding seabed habitats.
